"Fabricating #Clay: #Machines, #Materials, & #Code"

🧵 Today's SFI Seminar by @leahbuechley (@UNM):
"We build the geometry directly by thinking about the PATH that our 3D printer takes. There's no intermediate slicing software [to render CAD as "2D" layers]."

- @leahbuechley, #3DPrinting clay with a 1.5 mm nozzle
"You can start to think about surface textures - like spikes that you can't do with a traditional slicer. Or...here's a path that's a sine wave, but every other layer is rotated. Or...one creature is following THIS path, and the other is chasing it around."

Why #Ukraine 🇺🇦 matters to #EU, #US, #UK, #Canada, the world thread 🧵↓

This is #Ukraine 🇺🇦 pictured on top of a map of #Europe. It's the biggest European country, bigger than France. Donbass' territories occupied by Russia are as big as Switzerland.

What is happening now is not a small local conflict, but a hazard for the whole world.

Why does #Ukraine 🇺🇦 matter?

✅ 1ˢᵗ in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores;
✅ 2ⁿᵈ place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves;

Ok it's time for the #strawhouse thread 🧵. Buildings that are already #climatepositive = directly relieve the atmosphere without calculation tricks over lifetime. Straw is a durable passivhaus insulation wall. A agri residue and almost half of it is carbon.
Show me! Image
26 dwellings, straw insulated social housing in france. Look how the embodied carbon share (tile, metal,...) is used to protect the biomass inside.

CROSSROADS THREAD

Where do creativity and history meet?

Author Elizabeth Garner @Lostandfoundst2 from @BlackdenTrust joins archaeologist Dr. Tim Campbell Green @TimACG for @LITmacclesfield event "a weekend of stories and light in Macclesfield.

I think @TimACG mentions a cross roads in this vidoe, but it might have been YouTube auto-selecting a video after this one.

At the crossroads at Chuch Lawton are 3 Bronze age sites. We're inspired by @BlackdenTrust and the idea of stories, places, boundaries and crossroads...

Been watching season 3 of #TheCrown?
Despite 2000 years of stone construction, #London has no indigenous building stone. Its geology is sand, gravel and clay. Stone has been imported since #Roman times along the #RiverThames to build that amazing city.
#nspoli #NovaScotia #mining Image
To build #Londinium (starting in 47 AD), Romans imported stone from many places in #England and from as far away as #Egypt, #Greece and #Italy. Part of the Roman defensive wall is still visible and many buildings have been uncovered (amphitheatre, forum, bath houses, etc)
#nspoli Image
Medieval #London had narrow streets and timber-framed, thatch houses so the #GreatFireofLondon destroyed much of it in 1666. Legislation afterward required stone or brick construction to prevent future fires. #Halifax NS passed a similar bylaw in 1857 after several fires.

With my wife, we are building an extremely ecological self-sufficient house (made of straw, wood and earth), while being modern too.

The house is out of the grid for electricity & water, and there is no heating system.

The construction has finally started after 1.5 years.
